The Texas-based supermarket chain will now allow customers to access a range of pet and home care services while shopping.
The company partnered with home management platform Thumbtack to install displays in more than 300 stores across Texas where shoppers can scan a QR code to find and hire local service providers who perform a range of tasks.
“Thumbtack’s job is to make caring for everything in and around the home a seamless experience for the homeowner,” said David Steckel, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships at Thumbtack. “Expanding into physical retail brings us one step closer to that by allowing us to be a partner for consumers whether they’re shopping in-store for their pets or getting their backyards ready for hosting.”
Pet services include dog walking, grooming, pet sitting and training. Select H-E-B stores will also offer a Thumbtack On-Demand feature where consumers can find and hire local handymen, lawn care and cleaning services at a 10% discount.
